In a previous post, I talked a bit about my endeavour to build myself a lil’ Lisp: PebbLisp. It’s a project I work off and on depending on my motivation. Recently, I was pretty bored with it, and found myself looking for a new project. Having read a bit about Forth, I thought it wouldn’t be too hard to try implementing it. Plus, this would be a great opportunity do some practice with Rust.

I haven’t written anything for like a week (2 weeks? A month? Who knows anymore) because I got myself all busy with reading. I feel it a noble enough sacrifice. Today, however, I have a bit of a headache, and writing offers a lot more flexibility as far as thinking and letting your eyes wander.

This semester, I’m finally, finally, finishing up the last class in my bachelor’s. I started this degree in the Spring of 2016, after I’d finished my associate’s. So, I’ve been after this stupid thing since Fall 2014, and I’m sick of it. Thanks to a scholarship, my tuition has “only” totalled somewhere around fifteen, maybe twenty thousand dollars. Might be good to know the exact figure at some point, but since I could technically still drop out, it’s best that I don’t think about it too much.

How does one become hacker? Use a hacker editor. Vim is the text editor used by all the most elite hackers on this globe. If you want to be a cool hacker lady or hacker boy, there’s only one way to do it: vim.

AKA, Shameless cat-posting

Our house has a stray cat hanging around (dubbed, “Vinny”) who my partner and I have grown quite fond of. He comes up to the back door every few days to get food and engage in a staring contest with our cats.

A few years ago, I found the lovely Godot Engine, and decided to make a game. It’s called Fronter and it’s not much of an improvement over the Flash game I made by copying a tutorial in 2009. Though I wrote it myself this time instead of just swapping out assets (I was 13, okay). It’s sorta fun, but very incomplete and terribly balanced. It does, however, have exquisitely-crafted graphics:

When I left my last job, I was lucky enough to do so on great terms with everyone there. It was all very the circumstances are what they are - nothing to be done. So, when I put in my notice, I was asked to spend some time showing my replacement the ropes, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it!

Inspired by boredom, an unreasonable affinity for all things vinegary, and a friend doing neat pickle stuff, I’ve decided to try making some fermented hot sauce. It’s the first time I’ve fermented something, so it should be a learning experience, if nothing else.

So, my partner and I have gotten pretty into disc golf recently. About two weeks ago I ordered a new disc, so we could bring friends out for a bit of good, clean, socially-distanced fun. It’s pink and it’s awesome.

I wrote this as a group project proposal for a web applications class, but I ended up with a team that had a different direction in mind. I thought it was kinda funny, though, so I say it fits here:
